I Will Challenge My Food Choices

I challenge myself to eat healthier. I
will eat at least five fruits and vegetables a day. I will drink at least
8 cups of water per day. This means I will not starve myself or even skip
meals. I know food is important for my body to run. I will allow myself to
have enough yet not too much. I will eat only when my stomach tells me
through hunger. I will stop eating when I feel full.Keep score here.

I Will Challenge My Ways of Moving

I challenge myself to move my body more.
I will find ways everyday to get my heart pumping. I will take the stairs
or offer to walk more places. I will dance. I will play. I will run. My
body will thank me.Keep score here.

I Will Challenge My Ways of Believing in Me

I challenge myself to love me more! I
will think positively about my weight loss efforts even on days I eat more
than I want. I will be proud of who I am and proud of my body. I will
reward myself with something other than food for my hard work every week.
Instead of eating to make myself feel better, I will find ways to express
myself. I know I will be sad, mad, bored, lonely, or stressed this year.
This year, though, I will find ways to feel better without food (like take
my dog for a walk).
Keep score here.
